Wrapped In Plastic - "Lollygagger" Review

Wrapped In Plastic - "LollyGagger" EP Review
Warped industrial punk rockers , Wrapped In Plastic return with a new EP, "LollyGagger"..Although the definition of this title means to fool around, the band certainly haven't slacked..they have put alot of dark and twisted thoughts into these four tracks, in what could be their most bizarre and best offering yet!..

The brilliantly titled, "Popomatic" is full of spooky strange sounds that compliment the song well..this song is very reminiscent of Marilyn Manson in parts.

"Marionette" it will have you shouting along to the choruses of "Hate, Hate"..Very aggressive lyrics, but we can't help but love it!

"Monkey See" is a fast energetic track, shouting, "Hey, Hey, Hey" throughout, making you what to sing along! Very catchy fast tempo track!

As well as some great lines like, "We are the world's voodoo doll, put a pin in us and we'll watch them suffer.."; again this is a good line for a alternative anthem. Also I like the whole puppet/dolls and control theme of the EP..interesting!

All the songs have the potential to be alternative industrial anthems, as weird as they may be!..They are weird in the greatest of ways!

Brighton punk rockers are back and hitting hard once again with their new video single 'Marco'. They have released a powerful video to accompany the song which was directed by Graham Cullis.

Check out the video for 'Marco' below:

The band states that: "The Message in this video is primarily to promote mental health illness awareness and how we need to cure the mind to help prevent tragedy that often occurs due to ignorance of others dismissing the people that need help."

Although ‘Marco’ was inspired by shootings in the USA such as the Stoneman Douglas High School incident and the YouTube attack in this video shows that gun control is something that needs to be addressed globally. As well as some cases in the US the video also shows footage of the Nairobi mall massacre in Kenya and the aftermath of the Dunblane Primary School in Scotland. SONS are fully behind any campaign aimed at tightening gun laws and making people more responsible with their firearms so th…
